2. Last week, we discussed the best VHS tapes still in your video library. Let's talk about the ones that got (thrown) away. What's the greatest VHS tape no longer in your possession? For me, it's "MAGIC HOUR (SELECTED EPISODES)."

3. At the aforementioned lunch, our waitress broke four glasses. We felt awful for her—and for us, since the staff's slow clean-up made our exit John McClane-esque. This wasn't as memorable as the time I watched a waiter quit, climb onto a table, publicly disparage his former employer, and slam shut the door at the BW3's on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill. But both incidents were admittedly tame. Have you ever been witness to anything truly nuts in a restaurant?

4. Mangesh sent me this Captain Capitalism cartoon, which got me thinking about tax refunds. If you're getting a refund, how are you planning to spend it? (I'll grit my teeth reading your responses, as we received a big fat "U.O.Us (more)" from the IRS this year.)
